Author - Debbie Ehrstien, Debbie Ehrstien, International Day of Yoga, Love, Meditation, The Dissociate: A memoir of secrets and survival of childhood sexual abuse
In Chapter Seven of my book: Self-care Throughout Healing and Beyond I talk about coming back into my body through Yoga.
“When I first learned about Yoga, I felt a little intimidated by the practice. Combining breath control, simple meditation and the adoption of specific bodily postures meant that I needed to focus on many things……at the same time. I felt I was seasoned at doing each of these things in isolation but all together?
After time on the mat, practice and persistence has paid off.
Here are a few benefits I’ve noticed:
lower stress levels, calmer and more peaceful, better flexibility, increased muscle strength, and my overall athletic performance during exercise has improved
See you on the mat!
Over the past few months during my book signings I have met many warriors. Men and women with the common thread of sexual abuse. Either as children or adults. Strong, brave men and women. Thank-you for sharing your stories and beginning your healing journey. You are NOT alone.
